[@douglasbeckman9849]

Once Jay is done painting Space Marines, it'd be cool to see his take on the main Chaos Space Marine legions (sans Deathguard)

[@ghi-dorah]

That would be way cooler than the whacky successor chapters. I also would like to see an interpretation on the traitor chapters as they were before they fell to chaos but in 40k.

[@cameerex6630]

​@@ghi-dorahso horis heresy

[@ghi-dorah]

@@cameerex6630 horus heresy takes place in 30k where they had whole other armor and stuff, the empire was also alot different back then from what it is in 40k hence the 10k time that past. so i mean a "what if" version of the traitor chapters if they didnt traitored.

[@chaplainfatty]

​@@ghi-dorah once again, the horus heresy legions

[@d-emprahexpects]

Heresy armour, with lore accurate markings

[@Triceratopping]

Proposal: mirror universe/Dornian Heresy First Founding Chapters, show us your take on loyalist Primaris World Eaters, Death Guard, Sons of Horus, etc!

[@linhle8294]

This ^^

[@jasonpowell3280]

I should have read the comments before making mine, I had this idea too!

[@Pjarsong]

This!!

[@joshy7759]

Oh damn, I actually like this more than my idea.

[@ChaseDaOrk3767]

That would be really cool!! There's definitely not enough Dornian Heresy painting or conversion tutorials out there

Well ill be that guy then, CRIMSON FIST NEXT PLEASE

Good choice!

[@Cracktopus.]

If you want a challenge, Howling Griffons. Quartered bright red and yellow? I'm sure someone wants to paint that, but it sure ain't me.

[@richardbradley2335]

Seen a more simplified version....still great though...great scheme ever since RT.

[@AndrewTJ31]

It would be great to do the whole Badab War. The true original loyalists.

[@YourStylesGeneric321]

I collect and paint Howling Griffons, it is a bit of a challenge but I love seeing the work pay off, and with enough practice it becomes easy. Also its awesome to paint a single color chapter after lol.

[@radeksmid6593]

I own s huge Howling Griffons army, more than 3.000 pts are painted. It was not hard, in the end.

[@brendanflynn2965]

My brother wanted to do a raven guard army, but his take on the black, was the black of a ravens wing which of course is somewhat akin to the oily blue, black , purple you get on the ends of melta's and flamers. As a result he painted up his test model up with the highlight points done like this and it looked pretty cool. It certainly added a lot of colour to what are otherwise a pretty monochrome mini. Howling Griffins is another I'd love to see, because the whole quartering is just so striking. The tiger stripped dudes too would be interesting too and i'd like to see Jay's take on that.

[@jasonpowell3280]

I think a “what if” Primaris loyalist version of the traitor legions would be a very cool project.

[@sirmonticus4319]

Dornian Heresy is sweet, I agree

[@77loka]

nope

[@soffren]

I like it

[@WizalReves]

Or make loyalist primaris Alpha legion and just play them as whatever fraction, because infiltration or something

[@anoriginalzero3107]

I'd like to see Jay take on Silver Skulls (Iron Warriors), Sons of the Phoenix (Emperor's Children), Chararadons (Night Lords), Covenant of Fire (Word Bearers), and Minotaurs (World Eaters)

[@Gusanoman]

I'd would really love to see his approach to the Grey Knights. I always enjoy how he paints metal in a very unorthodox way so it could be a great opportunity.

[@axcel9128]

He did a video, it‘s something like „I used AI to pick my color scheme“

[@craigjones7343]

Jay: I have all first founding legions Viewers: I only see 9

[@darkowl9]

All first founding _loyalist_ legions. Traitors are the other nine, and then there's the two that are "missing" from the Imperial records. Alpha Legion can be a bit of a coin flip though, I guess?

[@lillithara5120]

Thats why my Space Marine chapter is Deathwatch. So i can have as many chapters represented as i want.

[@carysage]

Me too!

[@michaeljenkinson8337]

Blood Ravens for that Dawn of War nostalgia.

[@PatPainkiller]

And because there's no chapter with a coolwr chapter master. Gabriel Angelos for the world!

[@Scott-zo9mt]

You forgot the most loyal legion of them all, the Alpha Legion. But seeing you expand into the traitor legions would be really cool

[@zarasque]

I did not realize at time but your blood angel should have a yellow helmet, he's an assault marine. Blood angel is the most colorful chapter. Red and black with yellow helmet for assault unit, blue helmet for devastator/fire support, gold helmet for veteran, black armor for death company and gold armor for sanguinary guard

[@drowninggames]

The Dark Angels squad marking on the shoulder should be horizontal not vertical if being lore accurate as well.

[@jimbosolo9667]

Im old school and paint my Blood Angels with a black trim on the pauldrons 🙂. Also the Blood Angel codex is a bit vague on the colour schemes for helmets for some units so I rely on official GW pics. It would also be good to have a proper chapter organisation chart which is missing from the codex.

[@kroger1910]

THE "BACKWARDS" SALAMANDER SYMBOL IS FOR TERMINATORS JAY RAAAAAAAH!

[@adog6495]

Fun fact about salamanders is that they kinda often adopte other chapter's marines like most of the black shields from 30k was lead by a salamanders box dread and in 40k they have adopted a black dragon, so the concept of having a mixed chapter army does work with the salamanders

[@MagosVeridian]

Badab War schemes!! Howling Griffons, Carcharadons, Howling Griffons, etc. would be really cool!

[@sawchain5376]

I'd absolutely love to see your take on Night Lords

[@dirtfrosting]

Jay already made a video on his night lords kill team, you can watch that while you're waiting

[@_-_sinexus_-_]

I absolutely love this "1 marine of x chapter"-series. Keep it up :D

[@brotquel1592]

Go for successor chapters, dare what GW doesn't dare: FLESH TEARERS WITH DINOSAUR PELTS AND TROPHIES! Seriously, they made a berserker vampire chapter from a dinosaur planet... and all we get is an old ForgeWord transfer sheet? No t-rex skulls for the shoulderpads, no pterosaur wings as capes, no stegosaurus plate shields, no thagomizer powerswords, no Space Marines riding dinosaurs into battle... GW... do you hate money?

[@bretts2356]

Before loyalist successor chapters, you need to do all the original Chaos Chapters. Chaos demands equal representation!

[@d3eznuutz]

Chaos DEI!

[@cynicfenrir3514]

Trazyn-J has collected each founding Space marine, soon he will have one specimen from every faction. each clan, cast, craftworld, chapter or hive will be preserved and displayed.

[@e_m_met]

For next Monday's video, how about a Painting tutorial on the the Real World 1st Founding Chapter...The Crimson Fist. I first got into 40k way back when Rogue Trader was released. The cover artwork by John Sibbick captured my imagination but the teenage me struggled to paint the RTB01 space marines to the standard I wanted. Now with the release of the Horus Heresy, the original marines have been re-designed and proportioned and look fantastic. I'd love to see you paint up a modern MK VI space marine but keep the vibe of the old school judge dredd comic book style with lots of 'kill' and 'death' grafitti over the armour.

[@oscarholloway4443]

Do the flesh tearers. They “accidentally” killed an entire space marine chapter in a fit of rage, and the grey knights, i think, almost killed them all

[@chaosof99]

I believe the Salamanders decal you used that faces the wrong direction is actually meant for Vehicles, e.g. to put it on the right side of a bike and have it mirrored on the left. Also, you should paint a Death Watch marine before they potentially go the way of the dodo.

[@BuxtonGlorbin]

I use the backwards salamander for terminators since the crux is on the side they usually go on

[@user-sm6cr2rl8x]

LEGION OF THE DAMBED

[@Scottec1425]

Jay! You enjoyed the yellow so do Angry Marine! Give us your best chain fist middle finger convert. Give it a frowned helm! All the fun stuff! Lol!

[@user-so6ps4pb6y]

Maybe before moving to the successors you should go for the traitor half of the 1st founding, Maybe make both a loyalist and traitor version for those that changed.

[@Dreoni_]

Chaos next for sure!

[@Segarra17]

Grey Knights & Custodies. Get some silver and gold up there!

[@darthkek1953]

He has done the Custard Ladies already.

[@deadliftyournan3293]

Hey Jay just want to say as someone relatively new to the hobby now, you've helped me learn so much in such a short time you really are a great hobbyist to learn from. Look forward to each upload, thanks again.

[@darthkek1953]

Jay is perhaps the best non-elite tutorial guy out there. The elite guys can be a bit esoteric (good for Golden Demon entrant people) but an elite guy who is also accessible is Vince Venturella. He has done everything as a tutorial. Everything. "Hobby Cheating" is his series. He has gone through every basic and mid aspect of the hobby and plenty of pro too. So much he is struggling for new material (certainly any basics). Check him out.

[@deadliftyournan3293]

@@darthkek1953 thanks for the recommendation friend!

[@agentalaskaak4955]

BLACK DRAGONS!!! They have been seen!

[@aerlands100]

Testors dullcote has become my absolute favorite varnish. Very lightly satin, sits nicely between overpowering satin and dulling matte.

[@tanker12999]

When you started talking about varnishes id recommend vms satin varnish i think it looks really good

[@brankoschoenbauer1795]

If you paint more raven guard like that with more and more ghillie suit on, you should just have one fully painted base with no model on it and just say he’s in a ghillie suit

[@flaviomonteiro1414]

I love your Raven Guard so much that I seriously thought about starting an army 😂

[@TylerAndToast]

Those look ridiculously good. Love the format of the slow quality spin while talking about the model and process. Those bases are amazing. I use a light coat of army painter satin spray varnish and brush on gloss where needed.

[@jonybladetattooer8355]

Go for the E gang next! Executioners (double axe melee intercessor would be cool af), Exorcists or even Emperor’s Spears (basically sailors / pirates).

[@zeterzero4356]

Really love the marines Jay and thank you guys for sponsoring the NEA Game Fest. Really looking forward to it.

[@dracorotor]

I love my Salamander Successors United army, and I know any of yours would put my own doods to shame, but I'd still enjoy seeing how you do a Dark Kraken or a Black Dragon. The modifications to them were some of the most fun I've had in batch-work over the last few years.

[@ArjanH1984]

Crimson Fists are always fun. I was a black templar player back in 3rd edition and the chapters from Dorn always spoke to me. Now the black dragons would be fun to see what you make of it with all the mutations.

[@gordonsalive8472]

Your blood angel looks more like a fleshtearer. As always great video.

[@imyourrealdad2379]

Would you consider doing a series of videos painting all the space marine chapter masters? You could discuss their lore/background and how you would use them on the tabletop.

[@shanecrandall7049]

Going to complete this one myself, great "Shelf" material for my Studio

[@SteamingSoda]

Since you like both yellow armour and the idea of having multiple colours present in your army: get a unit of heresy-era space marines (mk3 or mk4), paint them as Imperial fists and use them as "relic armour" for your black templars veterans. Ancient suits that were actually used during the Siege of Terra and are now only brought out during the fanciest of battles.

[@miniscooter44]

id love a tome keepers conversion with a bunch of books

[@hiagopiettro8137]

that raven guard is IMMACULATE!

[@cbjewelz]

I love the bright colored marines. The imperial fist is so cleanly painted. For the salamander, I think you're missing some orange and red on the lava

[@radred609]

"Maybe a space marine army doesn't have to be one chapter of space marines" One of my absolute favourite hobby projects was creating a truescale combined Space Wolves-Dark Angels assault force. This was back before primaris existed, so my "truescale" space wolves were a combination of Space Wolves and Chaos Warriors from fantasy. And the Dark angels were mostly created using all the left over space marine bits from the Wolves but using plaster card spacers in their shins and thighs (and i think waists as well?) to match thier height to the Chaos Warriors. Combining both chapters meant that i never got too sick of the boring work involved in extending all the dark angel's legs because it was broken up by the much more enjoyable process of kitbaching the chaos warriors. And the frustrating process of green stuffing fur cloaks and shaving off chaos iconography was proken up by the much simpler process of extending dark angel robes and smoothing over gaps in legs. Plus it meant that i never got too sick of either blue or green, since i was regularly swapping between the two. (and i also never got too sick of painting cream robes because the fur cloaks were so much easier) Re. your baby blue comment, i honestly couldn't agree more... So i went with a much darker blue-grey theme for the Wolves. I don't remember the the exact colours i used, but it was something along the lines of Charadron Granite -> A ~50/50 mix of Shadow Grey and Mordian Blue (I think) -> Mordian Blue (i think) -> very thin Fenrisian Grey highlights

[@irvingfaverman7419]

I think a complete timeline of Space Marine chapters would be really cool! but I am also a tourist who knows nothing about 40k, found you through pleasant kenobi and your legion vids

[@stevo_hobbies]

10/10 agree on the Imperial Fists... I've been holding off on painting my Primaris marines til I saw you do these, and that pretty much sold me :)

[@christianwolf9607]

The Cursed Founding has some really great chapters i would love to see jay paint

[@DRRCreations]

Thank you for another great, fun video and can't wait to see your future vids of painting the other chapters! 😀🤟

[@Salamandasam]

Those backwards facing salamander decals are for terminators, it’s why they’re slightly larger too. I made the same mistake on my first squad of salamanders too

[@ethanwhite3044]

Didn't notice it first go round but hollowing out a hole for the Salamander magazine in the bolt rifle would be next level

[@ThekiwininjaYT]

@@ethanwhite3044 I thought the same thing while I was watching

[@spacerat1271]

The Dragonspear are really cool from a color scheme and kitbash perspective, but I also think you'd fine the lore very strange and fun.

[@nacidocoqui]

As a Raptors Chapter fan, I'm extremely curious to see your take on the aesthetic and color scheme!

[@Hershey247]

theres no way I commented on his how to start space marines video me being new to warhammer and stuck on what chapter to paint and then he releases THIS

[@get2burning]

Pretty sure the "backwards facing Salamander decal" is for vehicles so they're pointing forward when you put them on both sides of your LRR or Repulsor

[@Frosty-kz4om]

I love that gradient of red to blue going up the Iron Hand. That looks amazing

[@kallax7172]

Either finish all the first founding legions and go into the CSM range, or go for the second founding idea. Ive always been a crimson fist fan. If you have a heavy intercesor for it too. Adding Gravis and Phobos armor is another angle to go for. Adding lore and naming them with ranks and honors. You have tons of options for continuing the series.

[@crimsonknight7011]

Those look amazing. You should do the chaos ones next

[@TapCat]

Jay, the lava on the salamander base doesn't look right because it's solid yellow. Lava flows have uneven temperatures and you'll see a gradient that goes from white hot down to yellow, to orange, to red, and even down to almost black. A quick google search will give you a ton of photos to use as reference material if you want to try and spruce that mini up.

[@gacharizer1372]

Enjoying your series of the chapters, it's tempting me to make one figure of each chapter too. Please do Blood Ravens next :)

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

I think a Kill team made up of different chapters would be really cool since each chapter focuses on different styles of combat and weaponry :P

[@sHinobu2969]

That Salamanders drake transfer is for the new terminator kit since for them, the blank shoulder pad is on the right and the crux terminatus is on the left shoulder

[@bludragon77]

I feel like after you play for awhile painting your own chapter so you can run whatever you want depending on rule change is great.

[@SaulMDGaming]

1:40 I was just thinking this the other day. Like, a Gladius Taskforce or something like that, but yellow tanks (Imperial Fists), blue battleline (Smurfs), red assault dudes (blood angels). Like an Endgame Portals scene type army.

[@user-vh1ys5fx5q]

I think the Rainbow Warriors are neat. It would also be cool to see the original idea of them in tie-dye patterns.

[@ellesse3862]

Speaking of weird, the Mentor Legion with the owl face for the chapter symbol, white and green armour, have the best weapons before other chapters get them. Or the Mantis Warriors in camouflage from the Tranquility Campaign circa RT. Got to have a Crimson Fist, they always look good.

[@michaelmorgan9086]

I wish I could paint as good as you. You make everything look so easy and the results are soooo good. My favorite is the imperial fists and the salamander.. I’m gonna be trying to do the same style of yellow but for my lamentors I have a blood angels army that is gonna be blood angels / lamenterts

[@zakmillard7282]

Black dragons!!! Super cool mutations leave plenty of room for kitbashing and sculpting! And there are almost no videos on KZbin about them or kitbashing them!

[@williampoucher174]

I've found Army Painter Matte Varnish really good, it isn't actually apl thay matte and is more in the middle, love the finish it gives stuff

[@vicnedel02]

You can do the marines of the Badab war. You've already got the Giant Lamenter. You can do a small one too since you enjoy painting yellow.

[@adamsmith8765]

12:10 GW decals can be reversed. I've done it plenty of times without any problems. Some third party ones are white on back regardless of the front side.

[@smeebo86]

You also have the terminators decal, which is for the opposite shoulder, so they face the other way so they face forward on the terminators if that makes sense

[@johnnypop-tart335]

I love the angels encarmine. I add gun metal to the trim and backpack. Then dry brush screamer pink on a khrone red base

[@The_Bloodied_Scribe]

Why not paint up a Soul Drinker? They were a second founding chapter then went renegade, then sacrificed themselves, and were reborn with Primaris so that’d be interesting to see

I would want to see you do the old yellow and black salamanders or give others Warhammer factions like the Ork klans or imperial guard regiments

[@paranoid223]

I’d love to see your take on a Minotaur chapter marine, their lore is really cool and their scheme is super bomb too, very Greek themed

[@djsaunter]

Successor Salamander, i recommmend Covenant of Fire. There are so few orange coloured chapters, looks good woth the black and gold too. You can also do easy chapter icon by taking a wordbearer logo transfer from the old easy build contenptor dreadnought transfer sheet and painting over the demon skull.

[@lelandkirchmaier7581]

You should look into the lore behind Rogal Dorn's "Last Wall Protocol" I'm sitting at 10 chapters ~1000pts each. It's been a really cool way to vary my painting while building one army.

[@frogger15]

ANGELS SANGUINE - I think you’ll have a blast painting them. I’m very interested in seeing yours compared to mine

[@professorkhepri]

vanguard detachment is awesome! i might play dark angles but GOD nothing could stop me from going crazy with phobos marines! (i lost most of my games, i infact did not go crazy)

[@greywolfful]

About White Scars: I think you miss a great opportunity! I personally can absolutely see the White Scars army with... Dark Angels Ravenwing detachement! You can take outriders as battline, you can kitbash Sammael into cooooool khan, you can add some not black, but white knights (kitbashed too) and command squad on bikes. What do you think?

[@vcinquemani3rd]

You can do an all mounted squad of dark angels though! With a bunch of raven wings knights, primaris outrider w/ atvs , rw commands squad, chap on bike, and Sammael. Its probably really bad though.

[@digressoire]

Black Dragons and their wolverine-ish retractile bone appendixes? YES PLEASE

[@deadknight1402]

I'm gonna keep on commenting my list of suggested chapters on these sorts of videos until you fulfil each one, so... Black Dragons - 21st (Cursed) Founding - Their bone blades should be cool to see on your models. Kinda similar to Baraka from MK. (and before you do so, his species is called Tarkatans) Blood Ravens - Unknown Founding - Mostly just a DoW ask. Crimson Fists - 2nd Founding - The first chapter to ever be seen, having been on the cover art of Rogue Trader. Make sure they have a crimson power fist. Deathwatch - Ordo Xenos - You can basically use whatever chapter you want with this one. And who knows, maybe you could find a way to enjoy painting them, similar to how you did with the Genestealers. Flesh Tearers - 2nd Founding - A more vicious form of the Blood Angels chapter (they actually take pride in the Red Thirst, and are quite a lot more prone to the Black Rage than their progenitors). Plenty of opportunities for chain weapons. Also, Gabriel Seth's take on the Primaris Marines is based. Grey Knights - Ordo Malleus - Can you do this without any of the special parts? Or will you cave? Iron Snakes - 2nd Founding - Out of all art of space marines, one of my favourite will always be that one Marine with the respirator with a grill like that of a snarling beast, and the giant, thick, slab-like pauldrons. It's such an evocative image. Lamenters - 21st (Cursed) Founding - The checkered pattern on the pauldrons will give you a good challenge. Plus, we gotta love these boys. Mantis Warriors - Possible 8th Founding - Stealthy Samurai Marines. Rainbow Warriors - Unknown Founding - In the official lore, there's next to no information about them (though they do have rainbow-coloured plasma weapons according to a Trazyn novel), but there is someone who decided to do their own version of the Rainbow Warriors as an Aztec-themed chapter. Good luck on the fine rainbow stripes. Storm Giants - Unknown Founding (possibly during the 36th Millennium, so between 15th through 21st foundings, maybe older) - These Salamanders successors are described as being even larger and stronger than the marines of other chapters. I wanna see how you can do with kitbashing the size of your marines. Storm Wardens - Unknown Founding - Mostly because I love the idea of Scottish Space Marines. You could also try branching into more Chaos Space Marines, and for that... Alpha Legion - M31 - They're great because you get to do a lot of scaled designs, and you even get a complementary Alpharius model in each kit. Black Legion - M31 - Consisting of not just the XVI Legion the Sons of Horus, but of any Chaos Marines who wish to fight their Long War under the command of Abaddon the Despoiler. One of the generic "Chaos Space Marine" factions, essentially the Ultramarines of Chaos. If any loyalist chapter were to see themselves as rivals of the Black Legion, it would have to be the Blood Angels, since Horus was the one who killed Sanguinius. Emperor's Children - M31 - They have by-far the most eclectic and over-the-top design elements of all the Chaos Marine legions. Me personally, I prefer their pre-heresy look, but their post-heresy look should at least be a lot of fun to make. Iron Warriors - M31 - The use of lots of cybernetics, basic raw-iron armour, hazard stripes, and their no-nonsense design philosophy. They hate Chaos, actually, and they'll lop off anything that gets mutated and insist on only using machinery and technology, though they're more than happy to use a daemon as a battery. They also don't like working with any other legions. Rivals of the Imperial Fists due to some preexisting bad-blood between their respective primarchs. Night Lords - M31 - Forced to survive in a piratical fashion, the Night Lords have strong serial-killer vibes, especially since they're not really fighters so much as predators and killers (by space marine standards at least). The black-blue armour and the lightning bolts should add some visual interest. They are rivals of the Salamanders because even before the Heresy they were skinning civilians alive and wearing their faces. Red Corsairs - M41 - Originally the Astral Claws chapter, the Red Corsairs are the largest new legion of Chaos to form since the Horus Heresy, having fallen to chaos during the Badab War, which was the main war that everyone cared about during Rogue Trader. They're more attractive a prospect for joining from marines not descended from the original 9 Traitour legions due to their young age, and the broad elitism of the older legions. They also have been known to utilize xenos crewmen as well. Thousand Sons - M30 - The cobalt-blue Egyptian psyker legion with heavy amounts of gold trim and yellow colours. When painted up, these guys are straight dripping. Rivals of the Space Wolves after what they'd done on Prospero. Word Bearers - M31 - Lots of daemons and religious cultish texts and motifs. Their primarch actually wrote the holy scripture that the Adeptus Ministorum/Ecclesiarchy uses to this day worshipping the God-Emperor, and was also the first primarch to fall to Chaos. They have a rivalry with the Ultramarines after the Emperor had the latter burn down the Word Bearer's most prosperous city on their homeworld pre-heresy. World Eaters - M31 - The most vicious and brutal of the Chaos legions, the World Eaters are all in on chain weapons and melee. They don't really have any specific rivalries with anyone, as they just fight and attack everyone, even each other.

[@Yakkahboo]

On your conversation re: armies being 1 chapter / colour. Im a DA player myself so I find this coming up at this point interesting, but I really think there is merit to exploring other chapters as part of the same force, and in particular the Dark Angels really exemplify that. However I do think the cross overs are the most interesting part of space marines, and I hope to spread my army out from just Dark Angels shortly, with the intent of adding some Guardians of the Covenent (successor) and Mentors (they just like to tag along with everyone and almost never deploy on their own) Some successor colours go really really hard and I'd love people just have a squad or two of successors in their armies, theyre really really fun. Obviously a bit awkward for those who play successors, and in particular Black Templars :s though I imagine you could happily plod through some Imperial Fist successors, and add some IF or two.

[@Yakkahboo]

Side note: You should totally paint some Mentors. They dont get enough love and theyre the perfect dudes to drop into an existing army and be like "yeah that makes sense"

[@sunniedunbar6889]

Rainbow Warriors would be interesting. The Home brew concepts for those boys is mighty good. The Emperor’s Aztecs Angels of Death.

[@MarioMorrhaye]

Great collection so far ... I would go for the Hawk Lords and add some purple to that mix you got. 🙃

[@AttiraKell]

You can do the traitor legions as well. Or do the rest in thier 30k loyalist form

[@euansmith3699]

Chopping off and repositioning the candle flames so that they reflect the movement of the figures could be cool. The yellowish leather on the Space Wolf makes the blue armour pop. That Imperial Fist looks great. Maybe the Salamander is a member of the Sternguard; hence his dragon facing backwards?

[@ZombieMonkey7]

Now Maid Marines would be a fantastic addition to this series

[@basstedson]

I've just shifted from space wolves to salamanders and it's been so much fun painting bright green instead of the dark grey I chose for the wolves.

[@danieljohansson1185]

I feel like Black Templars are more templary monastic knights, whilst Dark Angels are slightly more militarized regimented knights, like the Winged Hussars they take alot of their inspiration from :)
